<p>A <a class="link" href="gstreamer-GstDeviceProvider.html#GstDeviceProvider" title="struct GstDeviceProvider"><span class="type">GstDeviceProvider</span></a> subclass is provided by a plugin that handles devices
if there is a way to programmatically list connected devices. It can also
optionally provide updates to the list of connected devices.</p>
<p>Each <a class="link" href="gstreamer-GstDeviceProvider.html#GstDeviceProvider" title="struct GstDeviceProvider"><span class="type">GstDeviceProvider</span></a> subclass is a singleton, a plugin should
normally provide a single subclass for all devices.</p>
<p>Applications would normally use a <a class="link" href="gstreamer-GstDeviceMonitor.html#GstDeviceMonitor" title="struct GstDeviceMonitor"><span class="type">GstDeviceMonitor</span></a> to monitor devices
from all relevant providers.</p>
